Bengaluru, Aug 10 (UNI) Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah here on Monday welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to review the flood situation in the state, while urged the Centre to ensure proper financial assistance.
“Last year, the CM had estimated damages due to floods at Rs 50,000 cr. He had requested the PM for Rs 35,000 cr but what Karnataka got was just Rs 1,860 cr. Let the ministers be brave enough to ask for the remaining compensation as well,” he said in a tweet.
"Last year, the CM had reported to the PM about only the damages that happened in August. He had not reported about the damages in September-October. The ministers should apprise the prime minister about that as well and ask for higher compensation,” he added.
